At least half a dozen Democratic senators, led by Tammy Duckworth of Illinois, are calling on the Department of Education to stop immigration raids near schools. The letter, which was sent on Friday to Education Secretary Linda McMahon and obtained by NBC News, follows a series of classroom disruptions in the Chicago area linked to Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Though ICE is part of the Department of Homeland Security, the senators are appealing directly to McMahon, asking her to pressure Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to rein in what they call reckless and dangerous tactics.

“Federal agents continue to use unwarranted, excessive levels of force around Chicago, demonstrating an alarming lack of care or regard for the health and wellbeing of children, particularly by conducting unfocused, inflammatory operations within close proximity of school grounds,” the letter said. “We demand you pressure your colleague, Secretary of Homeland Security Kristi Noem, to reinstate restrictions on Federal immigration enforcement operations in and around places of education.” They also called for “common sense” limits on immigration policing near schools. “If society can agree that alcohol, tobacco and drugs should be kept at least 1,000 feet away from our schools, surely we can agree that tear gas—a chemical weapon which causes burning, pain, skin inflammation and respiratory distress—and other violent DHS tools and tactics also belong on that list,” they wrote. Other Democratic signatories include Angela Alsobrooks of Maryland, Catherine Cortez Masto and Jacky Rosen of Nevada, Kirsten Gillibrand of New York, Cory Booker and Andy Kim of New Jersey, and Ed Markey of Massachusetts.

Yet another victory for trans rights from the Democratic Party, even while in the minority position.

Doxxing her is state terrorism.

Stay Noisy. It can work.
